Hi all,Virgin poster here seeking some assistance/advice.

Many times, their real estate commissions amount to just a "few nights with the family at Olive Garden".

If you think they have the skills to get it done correctly you might want to extend an olive branch and do the unthinkable...offer to pay more after they complete the job to a reasonable standard.

Hi  Joe,Read Rich Dad Poor Dad and Get a Job (When Corona is over) and make as much money as you can as quickly as you can (don't spend ANY of it).If Olive Garden is still in business after Corona the waiters there seem to make pretty good money.Read the education links at the top of this site.Learn from the posts on this site.Good Luck! 

Hi Joe,If it were mine I'd replace the rocks with more pavers and hit the pavers with a defoliant to get rid of the weeds.Since you live there too, a nice BBQ might be tasty addition.And a lemon tree means free lemon-aid and lemon meringue pie, as well as tradable with the neighbors fruit, for oranges, avocados and olives (but you have to scout the area for who has those trees).Good Luck!

@Kayla Oliver-Pratt these are the situations where it pays to have eviction insurance.

HI @Oliver Lazaro the most risk adverse step would be to consult with an attorney and draft up a contract with them; this would be the most conservative way, to ensure neither party will lose and all risk is managed. 

I have owned a duplex for 11 years in the Virgin Islands. 

Hi, Oliver.
